2001 Conference

Visions, Expectations, and Reality: The Implications of Pervasive Computing
December 3–4, 2001
Baltimore, Maryland

As information technology increasingly is used to support all aspects of higher education, user and institutional expectations have risen. IT organizations are thus squeezed between these expectations and the realities of the limits to growth. To help IT executives in higher education in the mid-Atlantic region address these increased expectations, EDUCAUSE is presenting a new regional conference for the mid-Atlantic region. The conference theme is "Visions, Expectations, and Reality: The Implications of Pervasive Computing."

The Program Committee has developed five tracks that cover the full range of IT issues relevant to this theme. One of these tracks will build on the past four years of the successful national conference on Ubiquitous Computing. A sixth track, Corporate Presentations, will showcase how corporations can help IT professionals.

Opening the conference on Monday will be keynote speaker David Ward, new President of the American Council on Education (ACE). A President's Panel that aims to surround the rising expectations regarding the use and usefulness of IT in a framework of reality will take place on Tuesday. Panelists are distinguished presidents from the region: Dr. Arnold R. Oliver, Distinguished Professor of English and Chancellor Emeritus, Eastern Shore Community College, David P. Roselle, President of the University of Delaware, and Dr. G. William Troxler, President of Capitol College.
